Done this today.

£4.29 off amazon. Took about 3 weeks to come from China though. They do red, blue and black. I like it and it fitted perfectly.

I was going to replace the original faded black one with another black one but at the last second thought to myself, what the hell, go red lol. I like a splash of colour anyway........not that you can see much of it from the drivers seat! My reason for posting really was to show your faded worn original can be replaced easily and cheaply and the quality is fine.

Does that just stick over the original button? If so do you lose the backlight of the button writing?

No. You have to remove the whole switch from the dash, prize off the chrome ring then prize off the original black cover. The red one just clips back on and looks identical apart from the colour obviously. Backlight is exactly the same. I'd say the whole process took me 20-30 minutes.

I thought about one, as the black plastic coating on my stop/start button surround was flaking. Decided in the end to split the button down and spray the ring red. Not a brilliant pic, but you get the idea.

Mine is starting to do that and I find it mildly irritating! I have some carbon vinyl that I used on my dash so might just use that....
